In Latvia May 24,1930 1 1 Claim. (01. Ila-9) My invention relates to a tool for producing woolen carpets, blankets or the like. One object of my invention is the production ofwoolen goods consisting of a woolen design sewn upon a lining.

Another object is the production of woolen goods consisting of rows of wool'loops sewn upon a lining or base. Another object is a tool for producing woolen goods which consists of a fork-shaped tool on which woolen yarn is wound and then'sewn between the prongs of the fork upon a lining. Other objects will appear from the specifica tion and the drawing annexed thereto.

In the drawing Fig. 1 iso plan view of a tool for performing my invention,

Fig. 2 showsa. carpet'pro duced by my tool, Fig. 3 shows a way of using the tool shown in Fig. 1 for making woolen goods with. certain designs.

Fi Fig. 1. v

The tool consists of a fork with two or more flat prongs 1 and 2 which are connected'by a ring. 3 serving as a handle. A spacing device 4 '1 and 2 is pushed upon the end of the 'fork in order to maintain the right space between the prongs. The prongs of the fork are slightly inclined towards each other in order to facilitate the winding .up ofthe yarns.

In makinga woolen article, for instance a carpet or blanket, the fork is put on a lining 6 providedwith a printed design and is fastened toit ,at its open end by a needle or by inserting the fining with the fork into a sewing machine and dropping the presser foot of the machine on the fork. Then woolen yarns 7 of different colours 0 are wound upon the fork so-that the wrapped fork may represent that part of the coloured de'- sign on the which is covered by it. Now the sewingmachine is driven and the yarn sewn :as the first loops.

4 is a cross. section on the line or.

prongs of the fork. Then the fork is drawn out of the thus formed wool-loops for a short dis-' tance, as shown by broken lines in Fig. 2 and is again wrapped with woolen yarn which is wound up and sewn on the lining in the same manner 9 By continuing this operation the whole lining will be covered with .yarn showing the design printed 'on the lining. The spacing device 4 is necessary only for the beginning of each row in order to prevent the prongs of the fork from being drawn together by the seam;

afterwards the space between the prdngs is maintained by the seam itself between the ends of the prongsreinaining in the sewn loops. If the design is composed of stripes of different colours 7 above described process is a carpet. blanket or the likeconsisting of a lining with adjoining rows of wool-loops 9', 10 sewn upon it.

' It will be noted that the space between the forks is considerably less than the width of the SQ presserfoot 11 shownin broken lines in Fig. 2.- having a tongue 5 projecting between the prongs- Thus the presser foot, while acting as a guide, rides on top of the prongs and not between them.-

The inclination of the prongs is increased by the I claim:

. Tool for producing woolen goods consisting of rows of wool loops sewnon a base comprisinga 99 fork having flat prongs-connected bya handle v each of said prongs being of substantially the same width throughout the length of the fork,

"the distance between said I prongs being su'b stantially less than the width of the presser foot of a'sewing machine; said prongs being arranged substantially "in the same plane.
